Exploring Causes and Factors Linked to Suicide

It is not always easy to pinpoint just one exact cause of a suicide, but there are factors and warning signs to learn about and pay attention to. Things like social standing, family background and even genetics can play a role. If someone in the family has committed suicide there is more of a chance that you might consider it. By being aware of the different risk factors people can become better empowered to protect themselves and others. Making use of resources, helplines, a mental health toolkit and such can also help. You can equip yourself with the tools and knowledge you need to get help and make different choices.

Triggering situations to be aware of

Here are some of the types of situations that can lead to someone thinking about suicide and sometimes making an actual effort to commit suicide:

– Having feelings of hopelessness and helplessness and feeling alone as well as being socially isolated. That be real or just perceived or self-inflicted.

– Stressful times such as a loss of job, dropping grades, bullying, the loss of someone you love, parents splitting, a medical diagnosis, impending bankruptcy  and so on that is making it hard for you to cope. This is when a behavioral health toolkit might help.

– Having access and talking about means to committing suicide or going out and getting them, pills, guns, rope, knives and so on.

– While substance abuse is not always a sign that someone wants to commit suicide, it can be a trigger.

– Going through a situation where you are being discriminated against.

– Being mentally ill, for example, some people who are depressed may think about suicide. Also people with paranoia, PTSD, psychosis or phobia might too.

– Having a history of mental illness in the family or having issues of addiction, abuse or suicide in the family.

– Some physical illnesses can lead to depression and then possible thoughts of suicide.

– Not getting enough support from loved ones when you need it, especially during difficult times like for example coming out as being gay.

For teens and youths, additional factors where you might turn to a mental health toolkit  are;

– Being bullied by peers at school, online, in after-school activities and such.

– Being abused at home by parents or guardians.

– Being in a problematic relationship with a friend or family member.

– Having unprotected sex and catching an STD or becoming pregnant.

– Struggling with sexual orientation or gender issues and having no support.

Conclusion

When certain things happen without proper coping skills and relying on resources and things like a behavioral health toolkit, it can be hard to get through it and some people consider suicide. When you are aware of the factors and situations that might trigger them, you can find help.

The three most common things that occur that lead to suicide are financial issues where you can no longer pay the rent, you are bankrupt, you have lost your job or such, relationship issues like affairs or abuse, and legal concerns like being sued for something.
